#monsterdon David found the "Entrance in Rear" access-way to the alien ship. Everyone just goes in the front door and that's how they get taken.
#Monsterdon ok maybe she knows he's there
I want the Invaders special edition popcorn bucket #monsterdon
mobile organism designed only for EATING DAVID GARDNER
OOOOOOOOOH! #monsterdon
Why does the door have testicles???
So far this #Monsterdon has taught me that not a lot of people knew adults in the 80s who put artificial sweetener tablets in their coffee
so the critters worship krang from ninja turtles?
@cheribaker Hey! no linguistical stuff! ";" #Monsterdon

OK nice subterranian martian spaceship set I feel like in the original it was green?
okay yeah definitely Dnyarri #monsterdon
listen, ain't no giant brain putting anything anywhere near me (unless i can be guaranteed a meeting with Astarion, then we can talk.) #BG3 #monsterdon
Rad concert dudes
Wait what's that thing on his belt?
why are we at an alien Rave?
I have so many questions
Oh dang, Krang is in this? #monsterdon
I wasn't able to watch the old version with the rest of you so I guess I'll watch it after this. #monsterdon
And now, Kraid. #Monsterdon
Metroids!
#Monsterdon we need a disco ball and like some glowsticks
For an advanced alien race has terrible anti-intruder tech #monsterdon
This possessed biology teacher is really giving Prof. Trelawney #monsterdon
Sphincter says what?
Are these The Prophets? #monsterdon
It's Audrey II
that rave is out of this world
WHOA we're already in the sand pit base 38 minutes in, that's a huge departure from the previous right, i don't think they went in there until the military was around #monsterdon
#Monsterdon Party! At the Hill
#Monsterdon π΄ π½ π½ --> π π§ββοΈ π±
Yeah so why is the inside of the tunnel red? Don't go in the red tunnel.
OOOOOOH #monsterdon
Martian rave?
Very cool cave. 20 years later it was known to be the site of many raves. #monsterdon
/me has ideas about using @peertube in conjunction with #Monsterdon and wonders if others have already been doing it.
"we are trapped" "help us"
#monsterdon
Martians do like their fancy spotlights.
muuuuuuuch bigger sets than the original
alternately, insert Star Control 2 dnyarri reference #monsterdon
I just noticed the plaid lampshade is on a CAT LAMP #monsterdon #invadersfrommars1986
Is this one of those giant replica colons? Watch out for polyps, kid! #Monsterdon
@diazona sounds like a reddit post. Today, a soundtrack started playing over my day! What does it mean if the music turns creepy? Also, a countdown appeared over all my loved ones' heads. #monsterdon
Yeah, follow the evil teacher, it's not like it put you in trouble before, kid.
#monsterdon
has #monsterdon watched pod people yet? if not... why not?
Historical note: in 1986, people had an expectation of medical privacy.
I'm surprised the nurse immediately trusted the kid's suspicions were well founded and helped him, against genre conventions.
Sad burnt pile of bacon. #monsterdon
Evil Is Visceralβ’
#Monsterdon putting the taxi in taxidermy
Wait, is this why Elon started the Boring Company?
She teaches taxidermy in the evenings? #monsterdon
@Taweret I think the allegory is different in this movie in that the narrative highlights the creepiness of everyday life <-deep analysis.
@aburka TBH it would be kind of a dope superpower to have a soundtrack for your life
(pretty sure I've seen that somewhere, it was fun)
Kid won't go to Copper Hill with his parents but he's just fine going on his own, trailing the teacher who threatened him? Where was he when they were handing out brains?
#monsterdon
The scene in the school hallway where the parents are yelling at Karen Black, it's the technique from Jaws #monsterdon
i always go down every arterially-lit tunnel i see, just for funsies, you know. #monsterdon
This boy looks like a young John Denver. #Monsterdon
Meanwhile, in the colon caves.
Wait, so the mean teacher left the door to her panel van filled with her taxidermy projects wide open, in the school parking lot, and no one tried to fill the van with shaving cream?
This movie lacks verisimilitude!
Oooo a lava tube! Let's explore.

#Monsterdon trapped! In the van
wait, we've been invaded by Horta?
Oh hey, Trumpy cave. #Monsterdon
Kid thinks he needs to investigate everything. What good is investigating if you're just going to get caught? Are you trying to get hired as a penetration tester?
#Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars
Of course the plot must be advanced πΈ
@neia They must be ... "FORWARD THINKERS!" --Dad #Monsterdon
Can't you hear the soundtrack, kid? You're walking into their trap! #monsterdon
#This teacher was a weirdo before become martian
#monsterdon
#Monsterdon Do you think Mean teacher was into taxidermying creatures before being possessed, or after? I sort of like the idea she just took up a new hobby after her trip to get (delicious) frogs
why did they make the teacher creepy as a human? isn't the point of these kinds of stories to show noncreepy people being taken over and becoming a creepy threat? don't you want that contrast?
At the time it came out, was this considered a family movie? #monsterdon
#monsterdon He talked to me about Thundercats mostly. Kept on going on about the sword of omensβ¦
Kid survived the taxidermy van
Getting into a window-less van in the '80s goes against everything I was told in the '70s.
@ramsey (aren't they always...) π #monsterdon
She going hill climbing in her professional hill climbing dress.
Nice use of the Jaws shot! #monsterdon
Nice camera work following Our Hero sneaking through the fence.
10 and 2, Sister, use your mirrors
#Monsterdon π΄ π½ π½ --> π π§ββοΈ π±
Is that a focus-pull shot - so it looks like the hallway is creeping closer and closer?
#Monsterdon no there's one in the van aliens must not use it.
Steal the van, David! Joyride! #Monsterdon
Do I need the boy, or the jar of loose change? ...jar of loose change. #monsterdon
Wait she didn't tell him to wait in the teacher's van? Points deducted, not smart
Oh dammit, what do they call this camera technique! Anyway, it's not working here #monsterdon
#Monsterdon I love that the answer is for the kid to go out the window to the nurses house lmao
TIL aliens don't use their rear view mirrors.
#Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars
Such menacing pony tail shadows π#Monsterdon
This teacher seems to think the nurse is her sister. #Monsterdon
Ralph Wiggum is in danger #monsterdon
I don't care how scared I am of body snatchers. I'm not getting in the taxidermy van #monsterdon
Now I know what I want to be for halloween! Minibrain!
#Monsterdon is the little girl who's name I forgot wearing her dress backwards?????
@SnoopJ Good catch. Yeah, she was a doctor in the original. #Monsterdon
